Luckily its nothing major, yet! Natalie has been holding onto a really bad cough for two weeks now. We took her to the Dr last week on Friday and he gave her a dose of prednisone (steroid) and we came home and she has been coughing ever since and she cant sleep at night. So back to the Dr today. He said that there is 3 ways we could address this 1) do nothing and wait it out 2) give her a prescription for prednisone for 5 days or 3) give her an antibiotic and prednisone. We chose #3 and the Dr agreed. At this point it is looking like walking pneumonia and we want to catch it before it gets bad. So we went with the more aggressive route. Poor kid is miserable and tired of coughing all night. She also got a hepatitis A booster and is now up to date on all her vaccines until she is 11 years old. After her shot we went down stairs for a chest xray and then waited for her prescription.
